IRVING — The Cowboys were the only NFL team this season that kept two kickers on their roster by choice, but kickoff specialist David Buehler could be in danger of losing his job because of the way rookie Dan Bailey has performed the last two games with Buehler not active because of a strained groin.

Five of Bailey’s six kickoffs Sunday went into the end zone, with three going for touchbacks. Additionally, Bailey has made 11 consecutive field goals since missing the 21-yarder in Week 2.

“To have the number of touchbacks he’s had and also have the location on the ones that weren’t touchbacks, it’s been very good,” Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said. “We’ll continue to evaluate it. David’s been a big part of our team. We really think it’s an asset to have a guy who can kick the ball through the end zone.”
